Assignment outline.

The purpose of this assignment is to explore best practices for communicating with clients with dementia or mental health disorders.

Working in small groups, students will research a cognitive or mental health disorder of their choice. After completing the research, the groups will prepare an 8–10 minute presentation, with visual materials (e.g., a PowerPoint presentation or poster) and a short written handout to give to the class, addressing the following components:

• Briefly describe the type of dementia or mental health disorder (causes, signs, and symptoms).
• Describe how communication between a client with this diagnosis and an HCA may be impacted. Consider the elements of interpersonal communication (sender, receiver, message, feedback).
• Demonstrate and/or describe a minimum of three communication strategies/techniques (verbal and non-verbal) that can be used by the HCA to enhance communication while providing care to the client.

You will be marked using the following criteria:

• The ability of the team to thoroughly address the required components of the assignment (Total possible marks: 15/15).
• The ability of the team to present the information in a thorough and engaging presentation (Total possible marks: 10/10). *Each group member will receive an individual mark based on delivery of a portion of the presentation.
• The ability of the team to develop visual and written materials to support the presentation (Total possible marks: 5/5).

Kyle Bradish To Begin Rehab Assignment

By Darragh McDonald | April 10, 2024 at 5:25pm CDT

The Orioles announced yesterday that Kyle Bradish has joined the squad at High-A Aberdeen and will begin a rehab assignment soon. He’s been on the 15-day injured list since the beginning of the season.

The news is surely pleasant for fans of the O’s, especially considering where things stood just a couple of months ago. Back in the middle of February, Bradish was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Since that is the ligament that is repaired in Tommy John surgery, many began to fret that Bradish would need to go under the knife and miss the entire 2024 season and perhaps even part of 2025 as well.

Instead, Bradish received a platelet-rich plasma injection and began a throwing program. Just a few weeks after the initial diagnosis of the sprain, general manager Mike Elias relayed that subsequent MRIs had shown “accelerated healing” of the ligament. The fact that he’s now set to embark on a rehab assignment suggests that things have continued to progress in a positive direction.

The Orioles went into the offseason with a strong roster but the rotation was clearly a relatively weaker part of it. They did make a huge trade to acquire Corbin Burnes but the group still felt a bit lackluster, especially since the O’s could have done more. With a farm system that’s considered by some to be the best in the league and almost no future payroll commitments, they could have done more trading or made a splash in free agency. The latter scenario was especially open to the O’s as starting pitchers languished on the open market well after Bradish’s injury diagnosis, including big names like Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery or even back-of-the-rotation types like Michael Lorenzen .

The injury to Bradish and the continued absence of John Means left Baltimore with a rotation of Burnes, Grayson Rodriguez , Tyler Wells , Dean Kremer and Cole Irvin to open the year. Last year, Irvin had a 4.81 ERA as a starter and got moved to the bullpen frequently. Wells had a 3.64 ERA last year but with an unsustainable .200 batting average on balls in play and 82.6% strand rate, which is why his 4.98 FIP and 4.19 SIERA weren’t as impressive.

With Bradish now on the mend, that group will be bolstered in a few weeks, assuming everything goes smooth with the rehab. Bradish had a 2.98 ERA last year over his 30 starts. He combined a 25% strikeout rate with a 6.6% walk rate and 49.2% ground ball rate, with all three of those being a few ticks better than league average. The O’s have not moved him to the 60-day IL, so he’ll be eligible to be activated as soon as he’s healthy.

If Bradish returns and the other arms in the rotation are also healthy, the club will have to make a decision about who to bump out. Irvin is out of options but he could perhaps move to a long relief role in the bullpen if he’s the one squeezed out of the rotation.

LET’S GO O’S!!!!!

LET’S GO O’S!!!!!

Good news. There’s been a few, though, that the worst came to fruition after they actually started pitching again, but fingers crossed.

LET’S GO O’s!!!

LET’S O GO’S!

LET’S GO O’S!

…uh, let’s go O’s, I guess.

Has a PRP injection ever worked on a pitcher’s elbow? Meaning returned to pitching effectively without surgery? Not trolling, honest question. Seems like all this ever does is delay the inevitable by a few weeks.

Return in May, get through 6-7 weeks and get the surgery? Then the O’s get a SP at the deadline maybe? Brandish could return before 2025 playoffs.

Cole Hamels avoided it as did some others.

I believe Aaron Nola also avoided it as well.

This is good news, and lets hope that he can pitch effectively without the surgery. As others mentioned, the chances are pretty good that ends up being the result anyway. Hopefully he’s back because Irvin is inadequate. From watching him “feeling pretty good”, yesterday he had a lot of trouble hitting spots and managed to give up 5 runs, 7 hits, and 3 walks in 5.0 innings which simply is nowhere near good enough to have a spot on a supposedly contending rotation. The offense saved him yesterday.

Yea. Can’t stand how these guys make the money they do pitching well below mediocrity. There are a couple of guys in the minors who deserve a shot to start until Means and/or Bradish return.

Bauer in Wells out , looking real good right now!
